I disagree with instance everything.
Instanced main/guild story line quests, yes.
Scalable instanced dungeons for 2 to 4 man, yes
Instanced trials, yes, scalable to something above 2 and below 12, maybe
Instanced public dungeons and delves, no

Wow, really? Well i have some news for you: mmo isn't about "grouping". People who want a "single player" experience still participate in economy, for example. Even EVE provides lots of single player activities, there are people who never join a corp and feel fine, now tell me it is not a MMO. And lots of people who want some single player experience now and then. And finally, i can say people who don't want open world PvP or any other forms of competition (that's ESO for you) can go play some single player game with a cooperative multiplayer option - like, mass effect, AC, whatever, so that "actual MMO players" could have nice things. No? Then please stop telling who should be catered to and who shouldn't.
This doesn't even make sense, you aren't even making an intelligent argument here.

Your argument is intelligent, riiiight.
People don't like logging into to "empty" feeling MMO's. Other people are a natural part of the equation. If you ask me, it's bad enough that we are forced into mega-servers instead of being able to form RP oriented servers, progression PvE oriented communities, PvP communities, etc. Instead we're all just tossed into the salad dish together, and it makes it hard to naturally happen upon people with similar interests and goals.

I think you told me that MMO players should go play single player with co-op? That doesn't make any sense, not even a little bit.

OP's proposal solves just that. It's not unknown to a MMO - Ultima has trammel and felucca, which doesn't make it any worse (well it does, there shouldn't have been any Trammel in the first place)Ghost-Shot wrote: »Ghost-Shot wrote: »There is not one guild worth a *** running end game content that doesn't require team speak, the ones that don't(and they exist in every MMO) are glorified pugs

That makes perfect sence. Because players who only want coop content are *not* MMO players. You're fine with all PvP being confined to Cyrodiil - you're *not* a MMO player. At least not more then me. Because, you see, i don't like unnecessary forced cooperation (things like public dungeons/delves/dolmens in ESO), you don't like forced competition. So what exactly makes you a better MMO player then me? You told me to go play single-player game. I'm just telling you to do the same.

Trials shouldn't be instanced either, people could make us of that way too easy to get the BiS gear out of there.
Trials should be a well.... trial, so a big group is necesarry imo.
Rest is all right there for my opinion.
